What the good society can be, it must be. As we individually exhibit drives to SA (entrepreneurialism and social capital building), there must be a concommitant social drive toward building a society where everyone wants to live.

Maslow speaks well to today: “The good society is one in which virtue pays.”
His questions were: How good a society does human nature permit; and how good a human nature does society permit. When we finally learn go go from the D-realm to the B-realm, we might glimpse a good future.

It is interesting to see more and more people come to the same realisation about free and what it means. I recently wrote a piece during coverage of The Pirate Bay Trial about what free means and how it is used by the Y generation that touches on similar ideas.

You are right about Copyleft and Creative Commons, these licences will become the norm sooner rather than later. The days of the business model used by the Likes of Microsoft are coming to an end.

I get the feeling this credit crunch will speed the move up more. Where “free” culture will take us I am unsure but I watch with interest 🙂
